Golfer-in-Chief Skips Hole to Avoid Cameras
Hot Air ^ | August 22, 2011 | Howard Portnoy

President Obama’s ten days on Martha’s Vineyard aren’t really a vacation, Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week, because “the presidency follows him” wherever he goes. If you need proof, just look at the accompanying photo. It shows the president being briefed on matters of great import. One might describe him as looking “intense.”

OK, only the most gullible sap is going to be taken in by staged images of Obama looking presidential. Perhaps mindful of that grim reality, his entourage is keeping a lower profile this summer than in previous years. Jake Tapper of ABC News wrote the day before the president’s arrival on the island:

There are fewer welcoming signs on houses. A few flags are flying at homes, and the hotel housing the press corps is covered with red, white and blue bunting. But other than that, and several Secret Service agents strolling the streets, there aren’t a lot of signs that the commander in chief is heading here for a week and a half.

If his handicap is between a 10 and 20, he should have given himself a 7. My 11 year old son doesn’t like hitting over crap like that either.

better to vacation in your own back yard than to be among the libs there whose only worry is “weather and not the economy.” That speaks volumes. At least in my own back yard I could CHOOSE what I wanted to play on and the equipment would be MINE and PAID FOR BY ME and lastly, we would bbq all kinds of fatty foods to enjoy and wash it down with whatever adult beverage we CHOSE.

2. $140,000- Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects For The First Lady)
3. $113,000- Rogers, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)

4. $102,000- Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for the First Lady)
5. $100,000- Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
6. $90,000- Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000- Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000- Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000- Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000- Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000- Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000- Goodman, Jennifer R. (Deputy Director of Scheduling and Events Coordinator For The First Lady)
13. $60,000- Fitts, Alan O.. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500- Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500- Mustaphi, Semonti M.. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary to The First Lady)
16. $50,000- Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special-2Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide to The First Lady)
17. $45,000- Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000- Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19.. $40,000- Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000- Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $35,000- Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000- Jackson, Deilia A. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)(This is community organizing at it’s finest.)

There has NEVERbeen anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady’s social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three;Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President’s own pocket.

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and “First Hairstylist” Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air Force One to Europe..

FRIENDS.....THESE SALARIES ADD UP TO SIX MILLION, THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($6,364,000) FOR THE 4 YEARS OF OFFICE????? AND WE ARE IN A RECESSION????? WELL.....MOST OF US ARE. I GUESS IT’S OK TO SPEND WILDLY WHEN IT’S NOT YOUR OWN MONEY?????

Yes, Yes, I know, The Canadian Free Press has to publish this because the USA media is too scared they might be considered racist.
Sorry USA !

These pictures were obviously taken seconds apart. Didn't take long to go from scowl to maniacal grin, did it?

Michelle's skirt (above) is a knock-off of the international distress signal flag hoisted by ships when Somali pirates are about to board.

It was designed jointly by Johnny Depp and Phyliss Diller. The original flag hangs in the New York City Museum of Modern Urinary Art.

Did he pencil in a birdy for the hole? He’s very good at giving himself the benefit of the doubt. Especially on the economy.

Michelle, I’ve told you before, do not wear low-cut tops and dress appropriately at all times. You ARE the first lady, you know.

OMG...she is wearing a bathing suit under that skirt and using it as a top to the skirt. Into a restaurant! This woman is so low class. There is not one thing about her body that is attractive, and although she cannot help that...she should keep it covered up in an attractive way. Seeing the wife of a president wearing her bathing suit anyplace except swimming is simply inappropriate and crass.

no, it’s a “cami” citizen.

Teenagers across the country wear them for tops but they are extremely casual.
